Worse, they follow up their poor initial selection with similar bad calls about their marketing message. They listen to their hearts, and their hearts keep making things worse. ... read more ...

The DNS Still Isn’t a Directory - Back in the mid 1990s, before ICANN was invented, a lot of people assumed that the way you would find stuff on the Internet would be through the Domain Name System.

The Dot Green gTLD and the Domain Name Delusion That Foretells General … - I admire Annalisa Roger. I know from my single email interaction with her that she means well.
